From January 2022 I have been on a journey of my own..
I have lost 9 stone in weight with the support of Zest Weymouth weight management group, through a healthy diet and exercise. I never thought for a minute I’d fall completely in love with walking on my way! Walking is my happy place, whatever emotion I’m feeling, walking helps me in every way possible. It gives me time and space to think and just breathe.
Mind charity has a special place in my heart due to the challenges I have faced in previous years, during and after the births of my two precious boys. ❤️
I want to push myself to the absolute limits whilst raising money for an amazing charity. I fully believe in myself, which I honestly never thought I’d say.
We as part of Zest are holding a fundraising charity bingo event on the 25th of March at Southill community centre 💙
I am so so nervous but also cannot wait for this challenge! My training is well under way, I am up most mornings by 4:30/5am power walking around Portland before the boys wake up!🤣
I am so incredibly grateful for any donations, I do appreciate times are hard for everyone right now💚
Our training programme is about to hit a new intensity and I am defiantly ready for it! Bring on May 13th 🙌🏼
